Résumé : |
ENGLISH : Using a sample of homeless street youth, this research examines how specific forms of strain - emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, homelessness and being a victim of robbery, violence or theft, relative deprivation, monetary dissatisfaction arid unemployment - lead to crime and drug use. It also explores how strain is conditioned by deviant peers, deviant attitudes, external attributions, self esteem and self efficacy. The results reveal that all ten types of strain examined can lead to criminal behavior either as main effects or when interacting with conditioning variables. The results are discussed in light of general strain theory and suggestions are offered for future research on this topic. (Author's abstract.) |
